No problem - I figured that's what you meant. I really hope GWB has learned from the past mistakes by Reagan and his father's nominees - we need someone who is on the record for overturning Roe v. Wade as the bad law that it is, fight that fight in the Senate, and use the nuclear option, if needed. Bring it on!

OK so Bush nominate a openly consevative anti abortion person. The Democrats go balistic. So Frist, following your advice goes for the nuclear option. Guess what happens. The Seven RINOs go with the Democats and your openly coservative appointee never gets to sit a day on the court. The reason Frist never did the NUCLEAR OPTION is that it would fail.. There are 55 Republicans it takes 50 of them to vote for the Nuclear option. The conservatives only have 48 votes. The Seven RINOs won't vote for it. The NUCLEAR OPTION would be defeated 48 for 52 against. The nominee would never get a vote.

Is that what you really want? A total Defeat of a consevative nominee by the Demorats and RINOs?

If people like you didn't exist, Teddy Kennedy would have to invent you...

Bush certainly has learned these lessons but so have we. Prior SCOTUS nominees had to go through a Democrat Senate until Clinton faced Republicans in the 90's. President Bush will have a benefit other Republican presidents didn't have: a Republican Senate.
